DC fish, who else is going the path of full-time remote? Any interest in setting up a meetup for a remote water-cooler group? I'm talking about designating a place where we can grab a coffee, lunch, or even going for a walk once or twice a week and get some "office" feels.

Okay, do you fish use meetup.com? Or would the preference be a facebook group? What other options exist?

I’m interviewing for a full time remote job and would stay in dc if I got it - this sounds like a great idea!

Love this idea, about to move to a full remote and I'm trying to figure out some kind of way to get the office water cooler feel. Maybe a big coffee shop that's willing to put up with tons of people for several hours a week haha

The new Gregory’s in Navy Yard seems like a great spot. If there’s a enough interest, I’ll update with a link to a more proper meetup event page

Tryst is pretty decent for working, lots of space

Tryst is typically very loud and crowded, would not consider it for working. Not sure what it’s like post-covid but before I could almost never grab enough space for my laptop, and the music/chatter is way too loud to take a call there. I tried to study there a few times with friends while in school and I remember it being one of the less ideal coffee shops for getting work done. Really fun place though, been on a few dates there.
